Operative Text
A. Community areas, including community facilities, shall be appropriate for the intended use and location. B. Fences, walls and other minor constructions shall be capable of sustaining anticipated loads. C. Swimming pools, playground equipment, etc., shall be designed so as not to be a potential hazard.
Section 93-58 of Waverly, N.Y., Code of Ordinances Chapter 93 establishes baseline standards for shared spaces in residential properties. Community areas and facilities must be suitable for their intended purpose and location, structural elements like fences and walls must be able to bear expected loads, and amenities such as swimming pools and playground equipment must be designed to minimize safety hazards. The rule applies broadly to the physical condition and design of these shared spaces rather than to any individual occupant's behavior.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 93-58, operators of properties with community areas are generally expected to ensure that shared facilities are appropriate for their designated use and setting. Structural features such as fences and walls should be evaluated for load-bearing adequacy, and recreational amenities like pools and playground equipment should meet recognized safety design standards. Routine inspections and documented maintenance of these areas are practices commonly associated with compliance with this provision.

Section 93-58 establishes that tenants in properties with shared community areas, pools, or playground equipment have an interest in those spaces being safe and properly maintained. If a community area appears structurally unsound or a recreational amenity seems hazardous, tenants may consider documenting the condition and reporting it to the appropriate local code enforcement authority in Waverly, N.Y. Tenant-rights organizations can help residents understand what options are generally available when shared spaces do not appear to meet the standards described in this provision.
